On December 14, the FCC made a mistake. It overturned the net neutrality rule put in place by Obama's FCC in 2015. I have written to you before on this subject, explaining that the elimination of the net neutrality standard is contrary to the First Amendment guarantee to freedom of speech, as well as being harmful to small businesses.
I know those arguments didn't sway you. But today, I received notice that Minnesota's Attorney General, Lori Swanson, is planning to join other state Attorneys General in legal action to reverse the FCC's decision.
After the recent tax bill passed with NO Democratic support, Republicans would do themselves a favor by joining Democrats in a bipartisan vote to restore the 2015 net neutrality regulations. Doing so would be both good policy AND good politics, as net neutrality is supported by majorities of BOTH Republicans and Democrats in the general public.
Working to reverse this craven decision is good for America, good for your constituents, good for the Republican party, and good for Jason Lewis, It's a win-win-win-win.
